"After months of back and hip pain, and the inability to move or exercise, I got an MRI to see what the problem was. The first practitioner to see it murmured, “Oh dear.” That’s not encouraging. I had a cyst on my spinal cord, along with other damage. I was referred to Dr. Holly for surgery. Everything went well, and my recovery was easy. Three months after the surgery I am completely functional: long walks, jogging, ability to sit in a chair, and travel across the world—with virtually no discomfort. For context: I am in my 70s. And, while I have found some surgeons to be as prickly as a porcupine, Dr. Holly is a warm, empathetic, and patient man. I am blessed to have found him to do this surgery and turn my life around. "

"Dr. Holly is a top notch professional. He listened and responded to my questions and needs. He removed a benign tumor in my spine and I'm on a fast track to recovery, thanks to him and the fantastic team he has surrounded himself with. I feel extremely lucky to have him as a doctor. "

"If you want & need a great neurosurgeon, use Dr. Langston Holly at Santa Monica UCLA hospital. He’s not only the best in his field, he’s the nicest most compassionate surgeon I have ever had the privilege of using. I highly recommend him!"

"I can't express enough how grateful I am for Dr. Holly. The neurosurgeons in the county that I had to see weren't able to help me with my Chiari Malformation and told me that it really wasn't that bad so I shouldn't be having the symptoms that I was and I was referred to Dr. Holly for a second opinion. I was so afraid that he was going to tell me that he couldn't help me either but hearing that he was confident that he could help me gave me so much relief and hope because I thought I would have to live with those symptoms. I especially appreciate his tolerance for my concern over shaving off my hair because that really was important to me. "

"Dr. Holly provided an exemplary experience before, during and after my surgery. However, for those who are prevented from performing their usual duties in the workplace by the surgery and recovery, and are applying for a state disability claim through EDD, understand that Dr. Holly does not accept forms in the Post-Op exam setting. I had filled out the forms and wanted to submit them for his input and signature but could not. It would have been helpful if he or one of his Aides had mentioned at the exam that patients must fill out the form online. That would have saved me weeks in the claim process."

"Being under Dr. Holly's care was one of the best decisions I've ever made. After visiting multiple surgeons and getting a referral to Dr. Holly, I knew once I met him that I would be in the best hands. He is extremely caring, emphathetic, knowledgeable and confident in providing the best care for his patients. I'm now three months into my post operation after getting a microdiscectomy and had two large herniated discs, one 13 mm and the other 11 mm. Before the surgery, I was in the worst pain of my life when I had stenosis, unable to stand for more than 10 seconds and was on the verge of getting permanent nerve damage. Today, with Dr. Holly's care, I am able to life as normal as possible, a 100% turnaround before I had the microdiscectomy and am thrilled with the outcome of my surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Holly to my family and friends. He'll literally have your back!"

"Dr. Holly is without a doubt the best neurosurgeon around. I injured my lower lumbar (herniated disk between L4&L5). We live in Southern California so we went to UCLA urgent care, (which is a progressive, teaching hospital, giving them access to the latest research and cutting edge technologies). I was lucky to be seen by Dr. Holly with my first urgent care visit. I thought him both informative and assuring with his knowledge of different therapies. When we finally decided surgery was the best option for me, I followed up researching their Spine Center's Department of Neurosurgery and found not only Dr. Holly is the Co-Vice Chief of Clinical Affairs for the Department of Neurosurgery, Co-Director of UCLA Spine Center, but that when other doctors have back issues he is the man they all go to!! Dr. Holly is simply the best! I felt super safe in his hands. Not to mention he has a quick sense of humor that puts people at ease. He gave me detailed information on what my procedure would look ...
like, answered all my quirky questions. He also outlined what to expect post-op. His team also emailed me important documents about the procedure and self care information. This all helped me feel so prepared for the surgery and I am so grateful. Dr. Holly has scheduled 2 follow up meetings to be sure I'm progressing optimally and prescribing follow up physical therapy. I am so happy we were lucky enough to find Dr. Holly! "

"I travel to see Doctor Holly from Arizona. The whole staff goes out of their way to control the number of trips I have to make. This is the second time he has treated a back problem for me. The result has always been excellent. I highly recommend Dr. Holly. "
